Selective Depletion of CD45RA+ T Cells From Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Grafts in Preventing GVHD in Children
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well T cell depleted donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant works in preventing graft-versus-host disease in younger patients with high risk hematologic malignancies. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Removing a subset of the T cells from the donor cells before transplant may stop this from happening.
Detailed Description
OUTLINE:
CONDITIONING REGIMEN: Patients undergo total body irradiation (TBI) twice daily (BID) on days -10 to -7, receive thiotepa intravenously (IV) over 4 hours on days -6 and -5 and fludarabine phosphate IV over 30 minutes on days -6 to -2.
TRANSPLANT: Patients undergo CD34+ enriched, CD45RA+ T cell-depleted allogeneic PBSCT on day 0.
POST-TRANSPLANT IMMUNOSUPPRESSION: Patients receive tacrolimus IV continuously or orally (PO) every 12 hours beginning on day -1 and continuing through day 50 with taper. Patients also receive methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, 6, and 11.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for up to 5 years.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Graft failure defined as failure to reach an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of > 500/ul for 3 consecutive days or irreversible decrease in ANC to < 100 after an established donor graft [Up to 5 years]
A true probability of graft failure of 10% will be considered excessive. If there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the true probability of graft failure exceeds 10%, the study will be stopped.
- Time to ANC of > 1,000/uL [Up to 5 years]
- Time to ANC of > 500/uL [Up to 5 years]
- Time to discontinuation of systemic immunosuppression [Time from transplant to the final discontinuation of all systemic immune suppression assessed up to 5 years]
- Time to platelet count > 20,000/uL for 3 days without transfusion [Up to 5 years]
- Time to platelet count > 50,000/uL for 3 days without transfusion [Up to 5 years]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Occurrence of chronic GHVD meeting NIH criteria and requiring systemic pharmacological immunosuppression [Up to 5 years]
- Presence of acute GVHD grade III-IV [Up to day 100]
- Presence of acute GVHD grades II-IV [Up to day 100]
- Presence of steroid refractory acute GVHD [Up to day 100]
- Relapse defined by the presence of malignant cells in marrow, peripheral blood, or extramedullary sites by histopathology [Up to 5 years]
- Transplant related mortality defined as mortality in any patient for whom there has not been a diagnosis of relapse [Up to 5 years]
- Use of additional immune suppressive agents other than first line therapy [Up to 5 years]
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Patients who are considered appropriate candidates for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and have one of the following diagnoses:
-
Acute lymphocytic leukemia in first or subsequent remission
-
Acute myeloid leukemia in first or subsequent remission
-
Acute lymphocytic leukemia in relapse or primary refractory disease with a circulating blast count of no more than 10,000/mm^3
-
Acute myeloid leukemia in relapse or primary refractory disease with a circulating blast count of no more than 10,000/mm^3
-
Refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB-1 and RAEB-2)
-
Chronic myelogenous leukemia with a history of accelerated phase or blast crisis
-
Other acute leukemia (including but not limited to 'biphenotypic', 'undifferentiated' or 'ambiguous lineage' acute leukemia)
-
Patient with a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical (HLA-A, B, C, and ribonucleic acid [RNA] binding motif protein 45 [DRB1] molecularly matched) unrelated donor or related donor capable of donating PBSC
-
DONOR: HLA-matched unrelated donors (HLA-A, B, C, and DRB1 matched based on high-resolution typing) capable and willing to donate PBSC
-
DONOR: HLA-matched related donors >= 18 years and capable and willing to donate PBSC
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement refractory to intrathecal chemotherapy and/or standard cranial-spinal radiation
-
Patients on other experimental protocols for prevention of acute GVHD
-

-
Patients who are human immunodeficiency virus positive (HIV+)
-
Patients with uncontrolled infections for whom myeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) is considered contraindicated by the consulting infectious disease physician (upper respiratory tract viral infection does not constitute an uncontrolled infection in this context)

-
Patients who can perform pulmonary function tests will be excluded if they have a diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (corrected for hemoglobin) of < 60% predicted; patients who are unable to perform pulmonary function tests (for example, due to young age and/or developmental status) will be excluded if the oxygen (O2) saturation is < 92% on room air

-
